SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
STRAINERS
Strainers must be cleaned regularly to avoid pump starvation.
Schedule will depend upon the application and conditions.
LUBRICATION
NOTICE:
TO AVOID POSSIBLE ENTANGLEMENT IN MOVING
PARTS DO NOT LUBRICATE PUMP BEARINGS OR ANY
OTHER PARTS WHILE PUMP IS RUNNING
Pump bearings should be lubricated every one to twelve
weeks (AT MINIMUM), depending on the application, and
operating conditions.
Recommended Grease:
Exxon® - RONNEX MP Greas e,
Mobil ® - MOBILITH AW-2 (64353-6) Grease, or
equivalent.
Greasing Procedure:
1. Remove the grease relief fittings (76A) from the bearing
cover (27) and mounting bracket (108 or 108B).
2. SLOWLY apply grease with a hand gun until grease
begins to escape from the grease relief fitting port.
3. Replace the grease relief fittings (76A).
DO NOT overgrease pump bearings. While it is normal for
some grease to escape from the grease tell-tale hole after
lubrication, excessive grease on pumps equipped with
mechanical seals can cause seal failure.
